RFID Labelling for Enhanced Product Traceability to Propel Variable Data Printing Market Growth 3X, COVID-19 Pandemic to Stall Growth in Near-Term

A snowballing retail industry has necessitated the need for enhancing product tagging and labelling across various consumer goods segments. Variable data printing is generating strong tremors in pharmaceutical industry pushed by increased demand for item level sterilization and barcoding of products.

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2020 / The global variable data printing market is poised to expand at a staggering CAGR of 12% during the forecast period 2020-2030. Over the years, stringent regulations across critical end-use industries, particularly in food & beverages and healthcare have rendered it mandatory for market players to certify their products suitable for consumption. For this purpose, proper labelling of the product detailing its formulation, expiry date and ingredient proportion has increased, spurring the need for variable data printing. Additionally, variable printing has helped streamline supply chain management by enabling efficient product tracking and inventory control.

The need for smart inventory tracking remains the principal driving force behind the uptake of variable printed labels. Incorporation of nanotechnology such as wafer-thin printed circuitry to labels is equally stimulating the variable data printing market. Unfortunately, market prospects have been dented with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Imposition of nationwide lockdowns have actuated sluggishness in the global printing industry, attributed to restrictions on transportation of finished goods and raw materials to manufacturing facilities. The stalemate is anticipated to prevail until the abatement of the pandemic crisis.

"Radio frequency identification (RFID) labels will provide a major boost to the variable data printing market. Affordability, ability to survive hostile environments and capacity to make supply chains more robust are anticipated to surge its adoption in the labelling and packaging industry in the near future. Market players are therefore incorporating this technology to streamline their production processes," concludes a prominent FMI analyst.

Variable Data Printing Market- Key Takeaways

Product labels printing is gaining significant leverage due to flexibility in labelling, provision of dynamic data and creative packaging.
Variable data printing software shall expand nearly fourfold during the forecast period.
Retail & CPG shall account for 1/3rd of the global variable data printing market due to the integration of RFID labels in consumer goods.
More than half of the variable data printing market shall be dominated by North America and Europe collectively. Presence of market players willing to invest in improving labelling technologies has kept the market afloat in these regions.
Growth in the Asian regions and the Pacific shall experience a sharp ascent. Proliferation of the e-commerce industry, logistics and transportation and food & beverage industry is driving demand across emerging markets.

Variable Data Printing Market- Prominent Drivers

Growing adoption of barcodes for invoice generation and inventory tracking of immense volumes and generation of serialized numbers and product information in less time shall drive the market forward.
Emphasis on innovative printing to enhance the appeal of the products, particularly in the food & beverage sector, is increasing the need for variable data printing.
A mushrooming e-commerce industry has generated an increase in online shopping, which requires products to be labelled clearly and unambiguously. This is anticipated to propel the variable data printing market forward.

Variable Data Printing Market- Key Constraints

High input costs of essential raw materials such as printing ink and other equipment is anticipated to restrain market expansion of variable data printing.

Anticipated Impact of the COVID-19 Outbreak

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the variable data printing market across several industries. As countries have imposed lockdowns and mandated social distancing, industrial production has slid into a trough, registering major shortfalls in the demand-supply mechanism. Furthermore, the demand for non-essential goods such as clothing, apparel, luxury goods, toys, recreational products, etc. have fallen. This decline in sales has reduced the need for packaging and labelling, ushering in a significant downturn in printing operations. With manufacturing capacity reduced to half, companies are running at only two-fifths of their actual operations.

Simultaneously, demand for variable data printing is poised to remain stable in the pharmaceutical, healthcare and food & beverage domains throughout the remaining three quarters of 2020. Since these industries come under the category of essential services, manufacturers have been permitted to continue their operations running at full capacity, albeit with strict social distancing measures on-site. Due to this status, logistics and supply chains have remained strong, reducing chances of lacunae in the demand-supply equation. The incorporation of RFID labelling is poised to offset any losses the market is bound to suffer.

Newswire's Value Pack Guided Tour program offers powerful software to technology firms looking to increase their brand awareness and generate meaningful traffic to their websites during this unpredictable time period.

Technology Agencies Cut PR Costs Through Newswire's Value Pack Guided Tour

At a time when many media and advertising budgets have been cut due to the ongoing pandemic, many businesses are in need of quality distribution and outreach services as they look to maintain a strong presence in the marketplace and media.

The era of COVID-19 will be remembered as a turning point for the U.S. economy, as businesses in every major industry were forced to adjust to the social distancing protocols put into place by state governments across the country.

As U.S. businesses begin to return to work, Newswire plans to help its technology customers take advantage of the budding optimism coming from both business owners and consumers.

"Cautious optimism is really the best way to describe it," said Rohrmann. "Although the American economy is only slowly returning to normal right now, it is a step forward in the right direction. It also is a great opportunity that we are looking to capitalize on for our technology clients."

The VP GT offers agencies a wide array of price points and distribution networks.

Predictmedix Inc. Announces Deployment of Its COVID-19 Solutions at Hindalco Industries

Predictmedix Provides Update on Hindalco Industries Impairment Pilot

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2020 / Predictmedix Inc. (CSE:PMED) (OTCQB:PMEDF) ("Predictmedix" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the company is deploying its COVID-19 solutions with Hindalco Industries Ltd (NSE: HINDALCO) ("Hindalco"). Predictmedix will deploy its COVID-19 mass screening technology along with the technology for monitoring social distancing. Hindalco is one of the world's largest aluminium rolling companies with over 36,000 employees globally and with annual revenues exceeding $18 billion USD (2019).

Deployment of COVID-19 AI solutions with Hindalco

The technology deployment will be carried out at Hindalco's manufacturing unit, Aditya Aluminum, which is a 900-Megawatt captive power plant, where the pilot for Predictmedix's impairment technology is currently underway (this was announced on April 22, 2020). The deployment of COVID-19 solutions will begin in two weeks.

The technology for COVID-19 symptom screening will be deployed using multispectral cameras. Additionally, the technologies developed by Predictmedix to mass screen for social distancing and conforming to wearing a facial mask will be deployed on existing infrastructure of facilities (these include CCTV cameras). The technologies are an AI and computer vision driven image analytics solution which caters to the COVID-19 related violations.

The Automatic Face Mask Recognition Technology (AFMRT) technology mass screens to ensure that individuals within premises are entering premises with a face mask on and are keeping it on while being within the premises. Furthermore, the social distancing screening ensures that people are practicing social distancing within the premises.

Hindalco has been a strategic partner for Predictmedix and as such the current deployment as of now is for no financial consideration since it allows us to adapt our technology to better suit large scale manufacturing facilities such as those operated by Hindalco.

For more details on the COVID-19 screening products, please click on the following video:

Update on the Hindalco impairment pilot

The impairment pilot with Hindalco is progressing well and the insights gained to date has allowed Predictmedix to tweak the impairment detection technology to better suit its various workplace settings. This has brought the impairment technology one step closer to being market ready and Predictmedix is currently identifying beta partners in Canada for the roll out of its alcohol and cannabis impairment technology.

"We are identifying beta partners for our impairment technology in Canada and are very excited as we are a step closer to client rollout of our impairment technology, which we have accomplished with our COVID-19 AI technologies", said Dr. Rahul Kushwah, COO of Predictmedix.

Disclaimer: "The Company is not making any express or implied claims that its mass screening product has the ability to eliminate, cure or contain the Covid-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time".

Additionally, psychiatric disorders such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease can carry a significant burden and early identification is the key to better management. To help address this, the Company is also expanding its proprietary AI technology to screen for psychiatric and/or brain disorders such as depression, dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

From Banking to Real Estate: A Story of How Harcourts Beverly Hills’ Owner Glen Coutinho Reached The Stars

Today, he has reached the stars as he opened Harcourts Beverly Hills in partnership with Alex Duk, Deanna D'Egidio, Krystle & Laurent Bijaoui and his daughter Brooke Coutinho, his third real estate company now in the home of Hollywood stars and celebrities.

His story starts with him initially working in the banking industry of Australia dealing with financial markets. At that time, the real estate world was still a stranger to the now multi-award winning real estate agent. Eventually, his path crossed with the real estate industry and since then he has never disappointed.

It seems that Glen Coutinho had a natural talent for real estate sales as he dominated his first year in the world of buying and selling homes. Admittedly, he has no affinity for houses. The key to his success is ultimately his love for people. He treats this as his most excellent asset because this "people lover" approach has guided him in dealing with his clients. Through this approach, he has achieved the best customer service possible. To him, clients are not just customers wanting to buy or sell real estate properties. They are much more than that. They are his clients for life.

Through his love for people, he has discovered different sales and customer service techniques, as well as skills in dealing with different types of people and mentoring them. His approach has been effective as this has landed him numerous awards, both in Australia and internationally, including the "Most Respected and Longest Serving Real Estate Agent" during the 2018 M&A World Global Awards. For the last ten years, Coutinho has been consistently one of the Top 10 Ranked Agents in Australia.

Having established himself in the Australian industry, he has also become widely recognized as one of the top auctioneers and staff trainers in Australia, New Zealand, and in the United States. However, Glen Coutinho prefers to stay where his heart truly belongs, and that is in real estate.

With that, his decision to move to the United States also meant bringing with him his passion. Nothing can stop him from doing what he loves the most even if it means entering a new real estate market. Although new to the neighborhood, this seasoned real estate agent is quick to catch up on what clients are looking for. Armed with his numerous awards, acknowledgments, and his many years of experience, clients can be confident that they are more than safe with Glen Coutinho as their agent. They can be confident that they will receive the best services possible.

Dorrie Hubbard has been a passionate foodie since he was a kid. He feels most at home when he's surrounded by people enjoying a delicious meal. The energy of the kitchen and the conversation that hovers over the diners is a magical part of the culinary experience. Dorrie Hubbard has been drawn to that magic since he was a teenager when he started out hosting at the Frontera Grill. He worked his way up and after 2 years, he was promoted to maître d' of Topolobampo, another restaurant opened by the same owners.

Topolobampo is a 1 Michelin star establishment located in the heart of Chicago. Hubbard embraced this upscale environment and began to greet high profile diners who would travel to the city and come into the restaurant for a meal. He was the first face they saw and it was his job to make every person feel welcome. After he worked there for 4 years at Topolobampo, he became maître d' at Acadia, a 2 Michelin star restaurant in the Chicago area, and he loved working there just as much!

Hubbard has worked with multiple restaurants and he has seen the inner workings of the chefs in the kitchen, the wait staff, and those who handle the ins and outs of every culinary experience. He's seen how a restaurant can transform into a home, how a good meal can help form relationships, heal wounds, and commemorate a celebration. As food blogs became more prevalent, Hubbard thought about how he could help others experience everything that the Chicago food scene has to offer. He started out on Instagram @Chicagofoodandviews and since then, he's made quite a name for himself. Dorrie Hubbard has over 70,000 followers, all of whom are looking for their next amazing meal in the Chicago area.

Hubbard's specialty is finding the unknown food spots in Chicago. The well-known favorites are always worth trying, but his favorite way to blog is to find the awesome restaurants that aren't as well known. His goal is to find the hidden gems of the Chicago food scene and get the coolest unknown places on the map. Dorrie Hubbard is going to be taking the Chicago food scene by storm in 2021 sending out all of his new favorite food spots and menu picks for as long as he can stave off a food coma!

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2020 / Music brings life to a party, and at the very heart of it is the DJ pumping the right mix of beats to jam to. As the main protagonist in the selection, sequencing, and production of the perfect rhythm, a disc jockey is more than just someone in charge of ‘pressing the play.'

Music, in all its diverse styles, is pervasive in everyone's life regardless of how old they are. People have different musical preferences, and creating a combination of beats and tunes to which everyone can dance to is not an easy job. As such, disc jockeying is not just something purely mechanical and technical. It is an art.

One of the biggest icons in the realm of disc jockeying is DJ Hard Hitta. He is no stranger to staying ahead of the curve and has worked with numerous artists in the entertainment industry. In fact, he is a nationally known staple in the realm of DJing for his impact on introducing records to the masses. His work record has stretched far and wide to a variety of audiences. And just to name a few, it has reached Rap-A-Lot Records, Sauce Walka to Nipsey Hussle, and Fetty Wap.

While DJ Hard Hitta's talent in disc jockeying is the star of the party, just as exciting is his Cannabis partnership. He is bringing the experience from the alleys around the corner right into the center of the dancefloor. This fosters all sorts of grownup fun and optimizes the experience of his music.

The partnership sends Cannabis enthusiasts ringing with excitement as they can't wait to get a taste of Hard Hitta's sleek music. The disc jockey sure has his way of bringing parties to the next level by bringing his audience that unique elated sensation.

The disc jockey is one of the most notable ones to date. No other DJ in the industry was able to do their thing at monumental occasions such as the 4th of July Event at the Statue of Liberty, SXSW (2012 – 2019), Warehouse Live, The Cannabis Cup and Berner's Annual 420 Event. DJ Hard Hitta has set a record that would be hard to beat. With his sick beats and his burning passion for amping up any space he's in, he is setting the music industry on fire.

And although he remains to be a legend reigning in Rap-a-Lot records, he has already branched out to ignite and kickstart his personal label. He is now venturing into this new endeavor of rapping and developing his own music instead of breaking music for other artists.

Hailing from the city of Houston in Texas, he mixes tech and music with his new single, PRIVACY, which features two of the top battle rappers of the era – T-Top and Scotty. PRIVACY is currently in rotation at Shade 45, The Heat on SiriusXM, Revolt TV, and BET Jams. And keeping Hip Hop Fans up on their toes, it has played on over 40 stations around the country. It seems as if the whole world just can't get enough of this star.

DJ Hard Hitta is also the Operation Manager of Cypher Records – a record label created by the Royal Family of South Korea. And being an instrumental piece in the Coast2Coast DJ Coalition, he emerged as the #1 mixtape DJ of our Era.

Aside from being a sought after disc jockey, DJ Hard Hitta is also an investor in Boogerz, a company that provides a line of organic Cannabis. DJ Hard Hitta has his own strand that Cannabis enthusiasts look for. He hopes to be able to break the stigma on Cannabis use and educate people about its many medical benefits.

Marching to the cadence of accelerated and constant beats, DJ Hard Hitta's musical style is like no other. To keep up with the latest news about this DJ sensation, head on to his YouTube channel and follow him on Twitter and Instagram. Experience music like you never have before.

GRPN INVESTOR FILING DEADLINE: Bernstein Liebhard LLP Reminds Investors that Only 7 Days Remain to Make a Motion for Lead Plaintiff in a Securities Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Groupon, Inc.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 22, 2020 / Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action filed on behalf of investors that purchased or acquired the securities of Groupon, Inc. ("Groupon" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GRPN) between November 4, 2019 and February 18, 2020 (the "Class Period"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you purchased Groupon securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit GRPN Shareholder Class Action or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll-free at (877) 779-1414 or MGuarnero@bernlieb.com.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was experiencing fewer customer engagements in its Goods category; (2) that Groupon relied on its Goods category to drive its sales, especially during the holiday season; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company was likely to experience reduced sales; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On February 18, 2020, Groupon reported fourth-quarter 2019 sales of $612.3 million, a nearly 23% decline over the prior-year period. The Company's adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2019 was reported at $227.2 million, a significant miss from its November 2019 forecast of $270 million. Groupon also announced a "transformational plan to exit Goods" in North America by the third quarter and globally by the end of the year.

On this news, the Company's share price fell $1.35, or over 44%, to close at $1.70 per share on February 19, 2020, on unusually heavy trading volume.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 29, 2020. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
